高考英语阅读理解训练 50 篇（1）1Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.B1． “Damaging emotion” means that _________.

No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted(省略 ) to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’ s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’ s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.B1．Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.A．he difficulties in teaching spellingB．the role of spelling in general language developmentC．the complexities of the basic writing skillsD．the necessity of teaching spellingC2．The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________. A．to write carefully B．to do as teachers sayC．to use dictionaries frequently D．to avoid using words one is not sure of A3． Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.A．students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB．students will have more confidence in writing C．students will have less trouble in correcting mistakesD．students will learn to be independent of teachersA4． The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.A．unfair B．reasonable C．foolish D．careless三Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.1．Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.A．has little to do with culture B．has much to do much cultureC．is ever changing D．is different from place to place2．According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.A．before birth B．as soon as one’s teeth are newly setC．some time after new teeth are set D．around 15 years old3．Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.A．how much he or she smiles B．how he or she raise his or her eyebrowsC．what he or she likes best D．the way he or she talks4．People who live _________ are more friendly.A．in largely populated areas B．in New York CityC．in the country D．in the North四EFL TEACHERSSummer PostsOnce again we require 10 excellent TEFL Teachers for our summer program.

She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.The teenager said the agents’ questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace.com posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union in San Francisco.Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否决) bills that would have required that parents give permission or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers. 1．Julia Wilson was questioned because .A．she wanted to kill President BushB．she set up the website Myspace.comC．the agents thought she might be a threat to the federalD．she was a peace-loving person2．What can we infer from the text?A．Julia Wilson will be put into prison for making a threat.B．Kirtie Wilson thought it wrong to question her daughter in school without them.C．Assistant principal thought there was no need to inform Julia’s parents when questioning her.D．Ann Brick believes that teenagers should not be politically enthusiastic. 3．What does the underlined word “mean” mean in the text?A．cruel and violent B．poisonousC．kind-hearted D．unfair4．The author wrote this story mainly to .A．struggle against the war in Iraq started by the USB．discuss whether parents should be included when children are questionedC．warn teenagers not to post web pages on websitesD．criticize the former governors who vetoed the bill六When Nathan Winograd announced that he was leaving his job as a lawyer in California to run an animal shelter in Tompkins County, New York, his father looked at him for a long minute and then asked, “What do dogs and cats need a lawyer for?”The move meant giving up eight weeks’ vacation, an office with a view of the San Francisco Bay and a big house among the redwoods, and moving to a rural area know for its harsh winters. But Winograd’s wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove cross—country.On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldn’t resist.Blind dogs, cats with missing limbs—all find homes. “There is no dog or cat too old, toougly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,” says Winograd.Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says he’s doing what he’d always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and save all the animals.As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison.It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.”Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “I’m convinced that a no kill nation is possible, I’m just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.”1．What was his father’s response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?A．He was all for it. B．He was strongly against it.C．He was greatly puzzled. D．He was very angry.2．How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?A．He kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.B．He let the animals adopted by people who visited the shelter.C．He sold some of the animals and get some money.D．He delivered the animals to the local government.3．Which could be the right order of the following events according to the passage?a．Winograd and Jennifer set up an animal shelter.b．Winograd and Jennifer lead a comfortable life.c．Winograd and Jennifer got married and had two children.d．Winograd and his family lived on a tight bugget.e．Winograd worked against animal cruelty as a lawyer.f．Winograd worked as a lawyer in Californiag．Winograd and Jennifer moved to Tompkins County.A．f-c-b-g-a-e-d B． f-e-d-e-a-g-b C．g-a-c-b-f-e-d D．e-d-g-a-f-c-d4．Whic
